Men

Why one asks !!! why do they take up so much thought time, I mean I was with a group of intelligent women last night all of which like me are single, and as ever the topic of conversation turned to the male of the species, we discussed where one of the group could go to meet a man but to be honest its not that easy, we muled over situations that would bring her in to contact with someone but again its not that easy if you don't want to go onto dating sites, we thought of dance classes maybe tango! we thought of night classes, the gym, all kinds of things, but these all involve making an effort to get out but I think people are so tired nowadays maybe a little jaded to boot ... 

I bumped into a friend that I haven't seen for many years yesterday which was nice but again another example of how the male seems to permeate our everything, now given I haven't seen her for years as I said, within 30 mins of chatting I had discovered nothing other than the disappointments she had experienced with men!! This isn't a judgement just an observation..

What ever happened in the reading I had last week I know feel more at peace with my single status, don't get me wrong I love it, I'm busy all the time I do what I want when I want, life couldn't really be better (apart from some more dosh) but as with most I am a captive of this desire need or socially manufactured need to be with someone, even though my experiences with unhappiness have always been related to a man..

Its raining again and I'm going up onto the moors today, my daughters friends playing with her band at a fayre so it'll be scrumpy and veggie burgers and umbrellas, I fuzz :( what I wouldn't do for naturally straight hair...
